Another AMD EPYC Genoa ‘Zen 4’ CPU Leaks Out, This Time A 16 Core Chip With 2 Active CCDs - Wccftech

Another AMD EPYC Genoa CPU has been pictured which comes with 16 cores within two Zen 4 Core Complex Dies.

As for the CPU itself, the AMD EPYC Genoa chip is based around the SP5 socket which features a total of 6096 LGA contacts, the highest ever on any server chip at the moment.

As noted in the leaked EPYC Genoa documents, the 16 core part would also come in 5 chiplet configurations, featuring four partially disabled Zen 4 CCDs with 4 cores each, a 195W TDP, a 116W power for the IOD, and a 3.3W LGA power design.

The EPYC Genoa processors would also feature support for new memory and new capabilities.

The socket will support AMD's EPYC Genoa and future generations of EPYC chips.

Other than that, it is stated that AMD's EPYC Genoa CPUs will feature 128 PCIe Gen 5.0 lanes, 160 for a 2P (dual-socket) configuration. The SP5 platform will also feature DDR5-5200 memory support which is some insane improvement over the existing DDR4-3200 MHz DIMMs.

The main competitor of AMD's EPYC Genoa lineup would be Intel's Sapphire Rapids Xeon family which is expected to launch in 2022 too with PCIe Gen 5 and DDR5 memory support
